Duncan Hines Keto Friendly Brownie Mix, Chewy Fudge, 10 oz.

I have followed a low sugar, low carb diet for years, going hard core Keto intermittently. I have done quite a lot of Keto baking too. I have purchased and tried baking with all the flour and sweetener alternatives. I have had varied levels of success in achieving a satisfactory result without wasting expensive ingredients. Getting consistently good end products that actually taste like something you want to eat is a problem. At least it has been for me. I know what to expect with baked goods that are more almond flour based and I know what the keto sweetners taste like. I know not to expect the results to taste or have the texture of regular flour and sugar based baked goods. That being said, after reading the ingredients list on the Duncan Hines Keto mixes I decided to give them a try. I have baked the yellow cake and the brownie mixes. I am IMPRESSED.First off, neither is overwhelmingly sweet. I prefer to under rather than over sweeten things, especially when using Keto sweeteners. I have found most other Keto packaged or baked 'treats' to be cloyingly sweet. A huge NO for me. So the fact that these are sweet but not TOOOO sweet is a major plus. They are at the top of my sweetness threshold but not past it.Secondly, the texture of both mixes baked up is very good. The yellow cake has the recognizable graininess of an almond flour based mix, but they add in coconut flour and other modifiers to the mix so it lightens the crumb and gives the cake a pleasing texture. Almost like pound cake. Dense but not leaden. It has a nice neutral vanilla-almond flavor. I spread a thick schemer of plain full fat greek yogurt on as a "frosting' when iIeat it which cuts the sweetness even more. For a splurge, add some berries.The brownie mix is equally good. the texture is even better than the yellow cake in getting close to a 'normal' brownie.The sweetness is on the verge of too much for me. Or maybe it is that I can detect a little of the dreaded stevia aftertaste. But the stevia is not overpowering, which would kill it for me. I sprinkle a light pass of coarse sea salt over the mix before I put it in the oven. This contrasts the sweetness and adds an interesting note.I think both the yellow cake and brownie mixes would hold up to some customized mix ins. Nuts, berries, maybe lemon-poppy seed for the yellow cake.I know how expensive it is to stock your pantry to do good keto baking, so these mixes are really pretty cost effective. Especially if you are an occasional baker or if you just need to make something for a special event.The only substitution I did was I used whole milk instead of water in the yellow cake and I used flax milk in the brownie mix. I think any milk alternative would work fine.I purchased my first mix at the grocery and it was quite a bit more expensive than here on Amazon. When i knew I liked it enough to repurchase I bought both the yellow and brownie mixes here.It will be a pantry staple for me now.

I purchased Duncan Hines Keto Friendly Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix and have enjoyed it regularly for over a year. We keep it on hand when we want a simple dessert that fits easily into our routine. Because we make it often, ease of use and consistent results matter.This mix delivers a rich chocolate flavor with a chewy, fudgy texture. The brownies taste smooth and balanced without any aftertaste. The texture stays soft and moist after baking, not dry or crumbly. Each batch turns out consistent, which builds confidence when making it again.The mix makes baking quick and straightforward. We follow the directions, mix the ingredients, and bake without extra steps. The batter comes together easily and spreads evenly in the pan. The brownies bake evenly and cut cleanly after cooling, which makes serving simple.We appreciate that this mix contains less sugar than many traditional brownie mixes. It allows us to enjoy brownies without an overly sweet taste.The box size works well for a standard batch, and the mix stores easily until ready to use. If you expect classic sugar-sweetened brownies, the flavor may taste slightly different. For anyone who wants an effortless, lower-sugar brownie mix with reliable results, this mix is a solid option. I will continue to buy it and keep it on hand for simple, homemade desserts.

They're okay. Once you get past the coconut taste. They're also very gritty. But, beggars cannot be choosers.

I am a choco-holic - and I"ll admit it. When I was first diagnosed, I thought there went the brownies. I found a brownie mix that was keto-friendly and had zero added sugar. When I went to order some more earlier this year, it was no longer available, but this brownie mix came up. It's just as delicious as the previous one, and I suspect the one I was purchasing earlier was sold to Duncan Hines. Yes, removing sugar is pricey (for whatever reason), but it's well worth it to help control your blood sugars or for a keto-friendly treat.

Good without modification and much better with modifications. I have made these at least 10 times now over the past 2 years. These brownies are inexpensive for keto products and make a good desert made using the directions on the box. At 5000 feet elevation, following the package directions, then come out a little dry and more like cake than a brownie. They are not chewy like the package says. I have found that they come out much more moist and pleasant when I mix all the wet ingredients first, add about 1/2 cup of sour cream to those wet ingredients and bake them in a silicone mold that makes 6 of them per box about 3-4 inch rounds. This results in a personal serving that is about 1/2-3/4 inch thick after baking. After they cool, I wrap each in plastic wrap, put them all in a freezer bag and store in the freezer. I take them out one at a time and microwave for 30 seconds to defrost/heat before eating. I also sometime will swirl a bit of nut butter on the tops before baking or mix in keto chocolate chips. Both good additions.

Not very good Brownies because they are powdery and dry

5 stars for the fact that this is a great product. Unfortunately Amazon is getting terribly bad at delivering anything on time!

What people should know is that this brownie mix uses erythritol. It is under alot of scrutiny lately + has been proven to cause increased risk for strokes. It also can cause stomach upsets, which happened to me. I ended up throwing the baked brownies away after 2 servings.It is NOT worth risking your health to just cut back on sugar + gluten. There are better mixes available. Look mostly for sweeteners like Allulose, stevia + monk fruit extracts. You can even make your own using these ingredients. You can check the facts on google.
